Hiya Ferney,
Yes I've removed it and re-posted it in context. But we are on a 'Deutschland 83' thread.

Deutschland 83 - good for a belly laugh. I think East Enders manages more credible and subtle plots.My life, each morning when I dress, is four and twenty hours less. (J Richardson)Comment

Hello Stan, it was because Spin was mentioned on this thread and I didn't think it really worth starting a new topic on it as I doubt apart from myself and 8thObs no-one watched it! I'm still watching Deutschland because it's a bit different and it's really quite funny in parts.Originally posted by Stanfordian View Post
You obviously haven't seen East Enders lately!Originally posted by Pianorak View Post
Credible and subtle it ain't.

"Feature length" finale tonight, of this greatly enjoyable series!
Anyone who missed this rollicking story, and who likes a bit of thud and blunder Cold-War style, can see it all as part of C4's foreign-language series collection: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/d...mand/62893-001
As an interesting footnote, I had lunch this week with a contact who is a former army major and who in 1983 was stationed very close to the action, not far from the border. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if there was a covert element in what he was up to. Anyway, the point is that he also has been absorbed by this series, and said it conjures absolutely the detailed feel of what it was like to be there at the time."...the isle is full of noises,

Deutschland 83 - utterly superb. Flawless scene setting. Excellent acting. Spot on story line. What's not to like?
Spin, I suppose....tediously boring for this household. We started watching a couple of episodes ad have dutifully recorded the remaining episodes but they remain unwatched and I suspect will be deleted.
I see the second series started last night. Ho hum!Fewer Smart things. More smart people.Comment

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has been thoroughly entertained and gripped by this! According to the RT it's maintained a steady 3 million viewers and is the UK's most successful foreign language series (although I thought The Killing had more?)Originally posted by Caliban View Post
As for Spin - I did see until episode 6 but then I found it immediately goes into series II and III and I'm afraid it's a lot of French tosh that thinks it's more profound and weighty than it is so I'll not be watching anymore.Comment

... yep, I share the enthusiasm of others here for Deutschland 83 - looking forward to the final episode tonite...
Was there a rumour that other D'lands were in the making - I think a D 89 leading up the the coming down of the Wall?? *
Have been immensely irritated by 'Spin', and have given up. I know it's French an' all, but really...

* I see others have been having similar thoughts -
